Hello again! The Great War caused the termination of three French shipbuilding projects: The Normandie-class battleships (five already laid down), the Lamotte-Picquet-class cruisers (one ordered, two planned) and the 1914 battlecruiser project (no orders placed yet, nor was the design finalized).

Hello again! The next one was an early Alvama, and - again - I hope he does not mind a redo: The Jeanne d'Arc.

Hello again! These three have not yet been drawn, but I'll post them under 'reboot' anyway: The Dupleix-class armoured cruisers. These three ships, all laid down 1899 and completed 1903/4, were among the smallest and weakest armoured cruisers still in service during the first world war (only the swe...
